Each of us carries a unique mark,

Our qualities and flaws, an internal spark.

We admire those who refuse to conform,

Who blaze their own trail, and ride out the storm.

People who stand out, and boldly declare,

That they won’t follow the crowd, they won’t play                    it safe or square.

They craft their own style, unapologetically,

And make their originality, an inspiring legacy.

The middle way doesn’t need to be bland,

Beige and colorless, lacking a passionate stand.

It can be a vibrant and expressive hue,

A reflection of who we are, and what we pursue.
